Early Life
Barrel was always one for getting into trouble and letting

his mind run wild. Bruises and bloodied knuckles weren’t unusual, but not from fighting, merely from doing whatever dumb stunt his friends wanted him to go along with. If he hadn’t considered himself so much of a sidekick, and hadn’t been doing whatever he could to make his friends laugh, he would have never fallen out of that second floor window. After the fall, to his own surprise, not a single bone broken. A little knocked up, sure, but walking around the next day like nothing happened.

This was not a thrill to find out though, and Benedick had unfortunately been born into a particularly violent family of Hunters, with a particular hatred for anyone who could pass as human, but was different from them. If they found out Benedick was gifted with a certain level of skeletal strength, he wouldn’t be walking much longer. Benedick left his home in Transylvania, changed his name, and headed straight to Halloweentown, where he could blend in easily with the monsters due to his talent.

Current Events
Barrel resides in Halloweentown and can be found causing toruble with his close friends, Lock and Shock. Only a select few know about his past, as he'd never willingly talk about it. He doesn't see a reason to, it's all behind him now. As far as most know, he's an undead monster, and leans heavily into a skeleton metaphor for himself. He makes money by doing odd jobs for the richest people he knows.
